The Exotic Protea Hotel Wedding

23 comments

Efe and Oyin had a unique wedding.

Their signature was on their day and this is something you do not find easily in Nigerian weddings.

You will notice that the pictures are built around the groom. This was the express instruction of the bride who wanted her pictures to start from when she was fully dressed contrary to the popular culture.

You will also notice something only a daring groom will do. He walked to church.

There was uniqueness in the whole day and this yielded some beautiful pictures.

Just see these photographs…….

When the night breaks into morn.

and the circle of love ushers in a new dawn Separating the night from the day.While on your bed you layand to you they sayIt is your day of loveSmile and be joyfulfor the light of love illuminates you. As thou preparestAnd as the day begins in earnestBe thou focused on one thing aloneThe reason this day is specialLove.As you take your first stepsOn a journey you cannot predictRealize, some days will be hotSome days foughtSome days you will be aloneBut when you remember the reason for this dayLoveThen step out and be gladFor of all things Love lasts for ever. And togetherYou will reach for the stars and take themTogether you will smile and be gladTogether, helping each other, you will find peace and harmony. knowledge and understandingA knowledge of each otherunderstanding that teaches tolerance and usher in bliss.As you walk into the future hand in handEven when friends are missingOr notTogether you will reach your destinationFinally………………Mirth!

There was something about Efe and Oyin that inspired the poet in me. I cannot say what exactly.

Was going to ask where the poetry came from, until I saw your last comment. There is something open and clear about the bride in particular. Not hidden under too much stuff. I liked your capture of the wedding.ReplyCancel

Akara, I cannot say either what inspired all the poetry on your part, but the pictures speak a lot about the personality of the couple and the depth of their affection for each other. I have never seen a groom walking to church and I was quite impressed. At some point, I forgot it was a wedding and thought it was the honeymoon or a private party. You did an awesome job of capturing this couple’s special day, and I particularly liked how you told the story from the groom’s perspective.ReplyCancel
